A plan by search giant Google to digitize vast stacks of library books in the UK and the United States is drawing the ire of European librarians, who want to launch a project of their own. The national libraries of some 19 countries on the European continent have signed onto an alternative plan that would call for the European Union to invest millions to build its own digital library of European-focused literature.

Before Google dances off to launch a project of this scope, particularly if translations are involved, it would inspire more confidence in this user if their Search Engine knew the difference between Canada and the UK.
When Google swallowed Inference Find, I'd hoped
it would continue with the same degree of excellence. Not so.
I wish the folks who set up and ran Inference Find would come back and I know I'm far from alone in this. Google seems to be long past the point where it was interested in being a useful Search Engine.
Keep at it Europe - I'll stand in line to use your access.
And that's my $.02 Canadian..
